Blockchain wallet fee ridiculously high?

i have like 25$ on a wallet on my phone I forgot about. Went to go move it this morning and the fee is 9$. Are fees just high right now? I don't remember it being this high when I last used this wallet, and it was not long ago

 

Bitcoin fees are high. It's not worth to use bitcoins for small transactions anymore

 

Why not LTC?

 

Swap for LTC. BTC will always have high fees from now on, especially with all these bullshit forks ans the skyrocketing prices

 

Interesting. Do you even see a need for LTC then? Can XRP be used on LN or atomic swaps or just swapped with BTC in general?

 

I still think BTC is early in development and there are some good scaling factors and it does offer better security than most coins.

 

I think you fail to acknowledge at the long term scaling solutions. What happens when banks make their own CC that is a ripple clone?

 

Well first off I was actually just asking a question. I don't think I deserved a sarcastic response like that.

But I have a few more

1. Why should I not be concerned about the large amount of XRP ripple holds, which can easily be used to control the price of XRP and crash the price of they wanted.

2. Why should I choose to use a "currency" if it has to go towards a third party, also refer to question 1.

3. Why would any developers be interested in a platform that is not open to everyone. Anyone can run a bitcoin node or edit code and create a clone of Bitcoin. Ripples barrier to entry for development and testing seems to be only with big banks (correct me if I am wrong, you are the ripple expert, not me.)

4. How will the scaling look if XRP had as many transactions/ day as BTC.

5. What about freezing?

6. Is XRP as secure as BTC?

I am not asking these questions as an investor, I am asking because i would like to know more on these topics I listed but the internet is a shitty place sometimes and I get both sides of the coin and who knows if the side is correct or not.

 

Do you not just think the governments instead of regulating BTC would find it much more convenient to introduce their own digital currency? It's inevitable with everything being online nowadays that paper money won't be a convenient currency, especially for the youth generation growing up, a government funded type of currency would kill off BTC

 

What's your fattest investment in at the minute? I think I missed out on the big buck investments with Bitcoin, ETH, Litecoin etc, but there could be some underground big return investments that haven't been found yet, would love to see something unknown pop up that's sitting at around 5-50 atm.

 

I've never seen ripple go above .35, do you think that will ever change? If it ever went to 2-3 heck even 10 (after BTC anything is possible imm) that'd be insane
